[Jaya Jagannath] Lahiri/ayanamsa puzzle - BV Raman IS right

[Guest guest]

JAYA JAGANNATHA!

 

As far as I remeber,

 

Varaha Mihira gives the exact value of yearly Ayanamsha as 50 1/3 seconds of

Arc. I don't remember the exact work, maybe it's Pancasiddhantika, but

someone else may correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Of course I respect the statements of the Srimad Bhagavatam as absolute

truth, but I would hesitate to jump to such doubtful conclusions on the

basis of an attempt to interpret a few verses.

 

Yours,
